Hello. Do you have any thoughts on any India etfs or the brics nations? Would it make a difference if I invested a lump sum every April vs smaller amounts every month into an etf? Do you have any gold/sliver as a back up?

Hey Ollie, unless someone can correct me in the comments, I believe you can only set up a pie, set your allocation depending on the amount you want to invest, but it will likely mean you end up with fractional shares as all your money will be allocated, so in short, no, not that I’m aware of if you want to do it automatically! I’ll have a word with my contact about that though

Hey - with Trading 212 there are two ways to generate interest on cash. 1 is through your stocks ISA, where you can get the 5.2% interest on uninvested funds, however these funds aren't protected by the FSQS due to Trading 212 having the option to put the money into something called a Qualifying Money Market Fund. However with the cash ISA, which is separate to your stocks ISA, you can earn 5.2% on the cash which is protected by the FSQS as Trading 212 hold it in cash (well bank deposits), and you can then withdraw it, or transfer it to your Stocks ISA at any time.

It think to increase your diversification it would be best to add some UK stocks. They might not do as well as USA stocks, but you seem to have all your eggs in that one basket.

Hi Ben, naturally you’ll have most, if not all major stocks covered across those two ETFs, but if you wanted to go in on few companies and have 100% exposure to them, rather than the weighted allowance in an index, it kind of comes down to what your risk appetite is. I’m weighted about 40% individual stocks, 60% ETFs in my portfolio currently (and admittedly it’s done well for me!) although I’m actively looking to increase my ETF exposure so it’s a bigger portion of my overall holdings, probably ideally aiming for 80/20, but that’s just a personal view based on my risk appetite. If 10% is what you’re comfortable with then go with that if you’ve got appetite to invest in individual stocks.

Hey, it’s such a good question and a dilemma too! There’s lot of different schools of thought on it, probably worth making a whole video about as it’s currently something me and my partner have been chatting about recently… my non researched, gut feel answer is, do what feels most financially comfortable, if that’s getting your mortgage down to a monthly repayment you’re more relaxed about, do that (this is kind of where my heads at), and if you can continue adding to your ISA, even if it’s slightly less than before then great. What’s your gut feel? Interested to get your thoughts too!
